“Clouds currently cover about two-thirds of the planet at any moment,” Natalie Wolchover writes for Quanta. “But computer simulations of clouds have begun to suggest that as the Earth warms, clouds become scarcer. With fewer white surfaces reflecting sunlight back to space, the Earth gets even warmer, leading to more cloud loss. This feedback loop causes warming to spiral out of control.”

Hello,
I’m hoping this reaches the right person.
Tom Mahood, if you’re reading this, I was hoping you can help me out. I was reading your incredible summary of the Death Valley missing Germans. I was so hooked on that article, marking pins in google maps every time you referenced a location in the article.
About half way through, the website suddenly became password protected.
Would you possibly be able to make this article available to me again to finish reading?
Thank you for any help you could provide.
